Choosing Maginnis Howard was the best decision I could have made. Karl Gwaltney and Ian Vance were hardworking, knowledgeable, and incredibly easy to work with. I was very satisfied with the outcome of their efforts, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to friends and family. Their staff, such as Grey Morgan, were also very considerate and quick to answer questions or offer additional help along the way.

Absolutely one of the best Lawfirm’s I have ever had the pleasure working with. Shawn and Beth are extremely professional, timely and get the job done. You’re in good hands working with them.

Amazing experience! Was kept up to date on every detail. Super friendly staff! Would highly recommend!

After a positive recommendation for their personal injury expertise, I contacted Maginnis Howard. My initial consultation with Attorney Shawn Howard exemplified the firm's commitment to client care. Despite reaching out on a Sunday, Shawn returned my call within the hour. As someone unfamiliar with the legal process, I appreciated his thorough explanation and his ability to put me at ease. Thanks to the hard work of the Maginnis Howard team, I received a fair settlement for my personal injury case. Attorney Victor Macam joined the case later and impressed me with his attentiveness; he was well-prepared and quickly up to speed on the details. When I was feeling overwhelmed by the whole legal process, Shawn and Victor took the time to answer all my questions patiently and explained things in a way I could understand so I could make informed decisions. They treat their clients as individuals, not just cases, and never pressured me for a quick settlement. During the entire process, Shawn and Victor would email weekly updates or call me directly if something needed to be discussed. They were very prompt in returning any emails or phone calls along the way (less than 24 hours). I was always part of making any decisions regarding my case and was never pressured into ‘settling’. Instead, everything was explained in detail for the duration of my case. Thanks to Shawn and Victor's skilled negotiation, I received a settlement that I was very satisfied with. Beth Owens was also very helpful and informative along the way in assisting with gathering information to build my case. She was always sympathetic, polite and understanding about what I was going through and always responded to me within a few hours. Shawn, Victor and Beth are all very passionate in what they do and truly care about the well-being and best interest of their clients. They were always empathetic and caring and very detail oriented. I must say I have gained a whole new respect for attorneys after having the opportunity to be represented by this law firm. I would most certainly recommend Maginnis Howard to anyone who may be looking for a reputable, hardworking law firm. I appreciate their whole team in allowing me to be represented by them.

We hired McGinnis Howard Attorney Karl Gwaltney for a case recently. Karl and the firm did an excellent job representing us and won our case for us. Karl kept us informed and updated us of all happenings and issues and advised us with sound legal advice. Very professional and articulate. I highly recommend this firm. I would not hesitiate to hire them again if the need arose.

Shawn Howard represented me in a case involving a dog attack. This was a very difficult case for many reasons and I was convinced that nothing could be done. Shawn was diligent and persistent in exploring every option available and he actually negotiated a settlement. He was caring, persistent, and always returned my calls and/or e-mails quickly. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Shawn.

While not able to take my case, they clearly articulated why they couldn't. Also, Intake specialist was kind and professional. Overall very helpful.

I am absolutely delighted to share my experience with Karl Gwaltney and the team at the Maginnis Howard law firm. Their exceptional service turned a stressful financial situation into a triumph of justice. After the debt servicing company handling my payments unexpectedly went out of business, I found myself entangled in a debt dilemma, leaving me in a precarious position. The original creditor refused to acknowledge the progress I had made in settling the debt and demanded the full balance, blatantly disregarding the substantial payments I had already made. Enter Karl and his dedicated team at Maginnis Howard—legal champions in the truest sense. With their profound understanding of consumer law and a commitment to fairness, they crafted a resolution strategy that was nothing short of masterful. They not only secured a settlement that absolved me from making any further payments, but also ensured that the debt was completely cleared from my credit report, reflecting a zero balance. The level of competency, expertise, and empathy Karl Gwaltney displayed throughout the process was remarkable. He navigated through the complexities with ease, showcasing his in-depth knowledge and respect for consumer rights. The firm’s professionalism and dedication to achieving a fair outcome were evident in every interaction. My gratitude towards Karl and Maginnis Howard law firm is boundless. They have not only restored my financial stability but also given me peace of mind. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone facing similar challenges. This team doesn’t just practice law; they deliver justice and uphold the highest standards of legal excellence. Thank you, Karl and the Maginnis Howard team, for your invaluable support and for championing the rights of consumers with such integrity and fervor.

Shawn Howard and his team are fantastic. They walked me through every step of my case and answered all of my questions fully, even when I asked the same ones more than once. They were very patient with me and were always available to me. I put a LOT of emphasis on being available, and they responded to my emails regardless where they may have been. I still receive emails asking how I'm doing. This is a law office that actually cares about their clients. If you need an attorney, this is the team to stick with, hands down!

The intake person is horrible, had to leave 3 voicemails. Finally someone called me and they said they are too busy to take the case.

I am writing today to recommend Shawn Howard of Maginnis Howard who represented my family in an unprovoked dog attack last year. Shawn was extremely effective in the job he did in obtaining a judgement in the case against the dog owners. Shawn was caring, empathetic, detailed, and thorough in his work representing us. Shawn is well-connected in the system and is known and respected in the field. We found that Shawn is dedicated to doing what is right and has integrity in all that he does, which we greatly appreciate! If you need a great attorney, Shawn is an excellent choice.
